Talent mapping is big time business right now as organisations have largely cut their costs, as well as staff numbers, and now need to get the best from the survivors, to ensure their teams are 'fit for purpose' to manage in an uncertain future.

This is no surprise – our recent research report into Learning and Development intentions in 2011/12 revealed a distinct pattern of organisations committing to invest in developing their top teams this year.

We are currently working with national retailers and global IT firms providing talent mapping services, as well as FTSE 250 firms with executive coaching needs.

For a free copy of the report or a no-obligation conversation about how we can help you map the talent in your organisation to make your team achieve peak performance, please call me on 0845 643 7382 or email me for more information.

After all, you wouldn't want your team to be second best, would you now?

The manufacturing, engineering and renewable energy sectors report that skill shortages are threatening our global competitiveness in these sectors that are vital to economic recovery.

Some talent has fled abroad for lower taxes and better opportunities, whist others have retired early due to a lack of local prospects in recent years.

Brooklands Interim Executives have an essential role to play in plugging the current skills gap as well as mentoring the teams they work with, leaving a legacy of learning to strengthen your organisation for the future.

Employers are understandably reluctant to hire permanent managers when the economic recovery is wobbly – and this is precisely why Interim Management is now in the ascendency, as firms want top class expertise for a short period to seize a opportunities or strengthen their skill base.

For a no-obligation discussion about your potential skill shortages and how we can help you have the right team, in the right place, at the right time, please call me.
